Perhaps, this is one of rarest and most spectacular butterflies that I've ever seen. To be honest, that was my first time seeing such a beautiful butterfly . It was seen flying fast over vegetation, and making a very shortstop to feed on flowers. This lovely butterfly is called the Blue Triangle Butterfly (Graphium sarpedon) which also similar to Citrus Swallowtail likes lots of kinds of flowers.

This typical butterfly can be differently identified from other swallowtails by a large amount of black on the front portion of the fore wing and the amount of blue on the hind wing. I was not so lucky for not having great chance to take more pictures of these butterfly due to they were quite active during daylight.

Blue triangle butterfly has antenna, head, thorax and abdomen brown, the head and thorax suffused with greenish grey; beneath: the palpi, thorax and abdomen touched with dingy white, the abdomen with two whitish lateral lines. Blue triangle is usually found Australia, is a species of swallowtail butterfly that is found in South and Southeast Asia, as well as eastern Australia.

Soon after being gone, another butterfly came swinging around and still it seem to be busy on that day, it just landed for a while and gone in a second. This is known as the Rustic, an orange-brown butterfly with a characteristic broad yellow discal patch on the forewings followed by a broad black apical area.
